NO MERGER OF THE TRIBAL CHIEFS AND THEIR TERRITORIES:*

 *MERGER OF MANIPUR WITH THE INDIAN UNION 21st Sept. 1949:* 


The merger agreement of *Manipur* with the *Indian* *Union* was signed between the *Maharaja of Manipur Shri (L) Bodha Chandra Singh and Shri V.P. Menon,* _Advisor_ to the *Government of India, Ministry of States*, on behalf of the Dominion of *India* on *21st September, 1949* at *Shillong*, in which the *Maharaja of Manipur* *surrendered his territory,* *titles* , *authority* , *rights* and *privileges* , except his *personal properties* and *religious rites,* and received a *sum of Rs. 3 lakhs per year.* *Thus, the sovereignty and independence of* *Manipur* as a *Country* came to an *end* on the date the *Maharaja* appended his signature on the historic merger agreement. 


The Total area of *Manipur* merger agreement covered was the territory of *700 sq.* *miles* or *26,500 paris/hectares.* 


*NO MERGER OF THE TRIBAL CHIEFS AND THEIR TERRITORIES:*


 _*The power and authorities of the tribe chiefs are supreme*_ in the land of the tribes in *Manipur*. *They are the lords of the soil* within the territory. They occupied, ruled and governed. They collected taxes and levies from their subjects independently.


*SO, THE MERGER AGREEMENT SIGNED BY THE MANIPURI MAHARAJA DID NOT COVER THE TERRITORY OCCUPIED BY THE TRIBAL CHIEFS AND THEIR SUBJECTS, BECAUSE THE MAHARAJA OF MANIPUR WAS NOT A TRIBAL REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAD AUTHORITY TO ACT ON THEIR BEHALF AND THE TRIBALS WERE NOT HIS SUBJECTS.* 


At the same time the accession instrument signed on *21'st September, 1949* did not cover the hill areas which has been a separate entity. 


The merger of *Manipur* to *India* in *1949* testified that all the ruling *Chiefs* and notable native states of *British India* except the ruling *Chiefs* of the tribals in *outer Manipur* are merged with *India*.

Theatre of Absurdity - Hitler heading a Peace Committee in WWII akin to N. Biren Singh heading Manipur Peace Committe

*N Biren inclusion in the peace committee is against peace itself and insentive to the victims of crime against humanity itself*  We are for real Peace,  not a sham peace committee In an alternate reality,  as WWII rages on and the Jews were still exterminated in the holocaust, where the 'NAZI Regime' was still intact and Hitler had not yet committed suicide, the world leaders came together to form a peace committee just to end the war without a care for justice or the crimes committed against humanity.  With a myopic goal of ending the  violence at any cost, prominent leaders of the evil 'Axis powers' had to be included in the fictitious Peace committee, namely: 1. Adolf Hitler 2. Benito Mussolini 3. Josef Goebbels 4. Emperor Hirohito  A few leaders of the 'Allied countries' and neutral countries were  also included in the committee to present a picture of fairness, equity and inclusiveness. * This obviously did not happen in the real world and in real recorded

Arambai Tenggol and Meitei Leepun - a socio-cultural groups gone rogue

 *ARAMBAI TENGGOL & Meitei Leepun - the Dark militant force behind the ethnic violence in Manipur. _by Investigative Media Team_ _ June 10, 2023_ It has become a daunting task for media organisations, intellectuals and even for Indian Law enforcement agencies to unveil the complete truth about these radicalised militant organisations as they operated and proclaimed themselves to be socio-cultural groups until their involvement in the ethnic cleansing pogrom unmasked them and exposed them. They could no longer hide behind the facade of a harmless socio-cultural organisations after their "Black Shirt" storm troopers razed Kuki houses, raped and killed their women, brutally assaulted and murdered in cold blood, hounded Kuki-Zo tribals out from Imphal and adjoining areas close to the Imphal valley. The Investigative team could reach a reasonable, conclusive point of view based  on the witness accounts of victims who escaped from the clutches of these radical organisations, th

Meiteis are not Indigenous to Manipur

 *Meiteis are not Indigenous People of Manipur* 👉Lt Col Laishram Lokendra Singh(Retd). Except for the die-hard few Meiteis who have been strongly conditioned to believe that they are descendents of Arjuna of Mahabharata fame and they are therefore Mayang Aryans, the overwhelming majority Meiteis do believe that they are Yelhoumee – the indigenous people of Manipur; that their forefathers were the original first settlers of this part of the world and they have maintained historical continuity in living in this land. No logic can therefore say that they are not Yelhoumee/ Indigenous People of Manipur. Scientifically also it has been determined that the so called valley area of Manipur was once upon a time under water. Due to regular siltation during rains from the surrounding hills over a period of time, water dried up and the land became congenial for human habitation. People from the hills came down and settled in the valley. Those early settlers may have been called by different name
